Cookie’s Kids, a New York City-based children’s clothing store chain boasting locations all throughout Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx and which has become famous for its incredible selection of premium uniforms, is offering tips to parents and students alike for making uniforms unique without breaking the rules. At the top of Cookie’s list is the addition of accessories, which, when injected in a fun and creative way, can yield one-of-a-kind looks and styles.

“We’re seeing a trend of added flexibility when it comes to the styles of uniforms kids can wear in schools that demand them – but through accessorizing, these styles can be taken to a whole new level without breaking the rules,” says a Cookie’s senior company spokesperson. “Backpacks, jackets and shoes are all great ways to make a look unique; switching it up from ballet flats to sneakers can completely change the vibe of an outfit, as just one example.”

For girls’ accessories, Cookie’s representatives suggest elements such as jumpers paired with white button-up uniform shirts that will make any young lady feel like a princess, and they also point to IZOD’s khaki skater skirts paired with perfectly-fitted blazers or fitted red polos with a pair of casual slim-fit khakis rolled at the hem with floral sneakers.

When it comes to the boys, Cookie’s reps find that adding the perfect belt to that shirt-and-tie ensemble is an effective way of personalizing an outfit, in addition to recommending pieces such as red polos and khakis as well as high-top Converse sneakers for out-of-the-ordinary combos.

Cookie’s executives have also been studying the key influences on school uniform design in 2019, referencing themes of gender-neutrality, climate management and modesty that are dominating youth-geared fashion at the moment. According to Cookie’s research, schools in 2019 and beyond want to make the right choices in managing the diverse student bodies they have while students themselves want to feel comfortable, stylish and modern in what they are wearing.

To this end, the trends in boys’ clothing tends to lean towards slim-fit trousers and “city shorts,” with short styles featuring a fixed waistband and slim fit to give pupils a cooler choice in the warmer months without compromising on sophistication, while the inverted pleat dominates modern girls’ fashion, offering a way to introduce color and patterns into a school uniform.

NEW YORK — Throngs of demonstrators joined by elected officials walked solemnly across the Brooklyn Bridge in a solidarity march Sunday against anti-Semitism and all acts of hate. The “No Hate, No Fear" march was organized by New York's Jewish community in the wake of recent anti-Semitic attacks, including a knife attack at a Hanukkah celebration north of New York City that left five people wounded and a fatal shootout at a kosher grocery in Jersey City, New Jersey. The crowds of participants jammed the streets in lower Manhattan as they waited their turns to get across the bridge. “It...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Forget reheated, freeze-dried space grub. Astronauts are about to get a new test oven for baking chocolate chip cookies from scratch.

Sample cookies baked just this week are also launching from Virginia on Northrop Grumman's Cygnus capsule, for the six station astronauts. The experiment explores the possibility of making freshly baked items for space travelers. With...

NEW YORK — RJ Barrett kept misfiring, a rough start to his college reunion week at Madison Square Garden. Barrett did plenty of things well but not shooting, going 4 for 14 on Wednesday night in the New York Knicks' 100-96 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Old teammate Cam Reddish left with a victory, but Barrett gets another chance for bragging rights among Duke rookies Friday, when Zion Williamson comes to town. Williamson, Barrett and Reddish were freshmen at Duke last season who went on to become top-10 NBA draft picks. Barrett, the No. 3 pick, and Reddish, taken 10th,...

SAN FRANCISCO — Uber is cramming more services into its ride-hailing app as it explores ways to generate more revenue and finally turn a profit.
